I have some crush lava rock (sand) already in the fireplace.. do I need to vacuum it before adding the Fireglass ?

I don't believe it needs to be removed. My fire pit has crushed stone in the base, and then the top 2" is the glass fire beads. It would cost a fortune to fill with the beads. Hope this is helpful.

No, I put my glass rocks right over. Depending on the depth of you fire pit and the amount of glass you purchase, You cannot see the bottom of the fire pit.

I used lava rock for bottom fill so I did not need to buy another 10lbs of glass works fine

I don't see why you would have to...it won't hurt anything if you put the fireglass over it. It depends on if you can still see the lava rock and like the way it looks.

I would highly recommend this so ensure that you do not get dust in the propane line. I did this myself when I replace original lava rock with new fireglass.

It needs to be used with gas. The glass does not burn and is pretty much just for looks in a gas fire pit.

Our fire pit is filled with lava rock & then we put the glass rocks on top. You can't see the lava rocks underneath so it looks as if it's filled with the colored glass.

Yes you can. I have fire glass in mine. It actually came with clear glass. I use the clear glass as a base and I bought a nice Azure Blue for the top. Turned out nice!

You can but once you place your logs; you'd want the area cleared before you start your fire. We have a gas fireplace and I am assuming you do as well.

Not sure what you mean by fire glass. It comes with a pit in the center where the lava rocks go. However, you have to remove the granite lid to use the fire put.

Hi Paul, Wondered if you purchased and used the glass in your vent free fireplace. We have the same and want to purchase for our own use in the home, in the vent free we have.

You have to make a different screen to hold the glass first 19.5" x 19.5" and then add a light layer of glass. it doesn't smoke like it does with the lava rocks, and I think it performs and looks much better. Be careful not to put too much glass on the screen. It will get to hot and start to burn the paint in the pan and turn your glass black. Hope this helps :-)

There is a little tool to clean the ashes out that I don't have personally. I just use a fireplace poker and hold a bucket under the door. Just make sure your fire has been out for a day or so!

This is the fire pit that I have. http://www.lowes.com/pd_328162-53470-66035_0__?productId=3316662 I kept the lava rocks on the bottom as filler and used 10 lbs of the fireglass. It looks great!

The best way to handle this is to line the bottom with aluminum foil. Take care to not cover the vents in the side. I can usually do four to five cooks before emptying the ashes. If you are careful lifting the foil you will get 95% of the ashes and can just brush the rest out or dump.

No need to put ceramic bricks or lava rocks with this grill. The grill has coated burner covers that will take care of flare-ups and can be cleaned when cool. After grilling, I let the unit cool and then put both the cooking grids and the burner covers in the dishwasher. After drying, I coat them with a little Crisco applied with a paper towel. This will get them ready for your next use. I have done this for the last 2 years and both parts look almost new. DO NOT USE wire brushes to clean, as even brass will scratch the coating.

I don't have a propane fire pit, I use the gel fuel. I replaced the stones with fire glass and it looks much prettier than the stones that came with mine. but yes, they do turn black around the flame. I just add more glass on top and eventually replace the black glass with new glass. If you are thrifty, you can probably clean them and put them back in, but I'm too lazy for that:) I will probably collect the black ones and save them and try to clean some day so I don't have to buy new glass but for the moment, I have enough glass bought ahead that I don't have to worry about it for a while. It's just soot from the smoke. If u stick with the stones then buying a darker color is probably your best bet.

why and where do you use sand. I have a fire pit just like this one and it doesn't use sand?
1319864
yes. also I followed another reviewers advice to put fire bricks on top of the sand for easier cleaning.

Yes, You do need the Grate.If you are going to use logs.This would allow the fire to burn efficiently, otherwise the Ash would kill the log fire.
